Induction Cooktop Protector Mat Key benefits - Induction compatible only: This mat is designed exclusively for induction cooktops. If the mat changes to red during use, the surface is not induction compatible. It cannot be used on electric stoves, ceramic cooktops, or other non-induction appliances. - Temperature guided safety: The mat turns orange when the surface temperature exceeds 105F, signaling that both the mat and the induction plate are hot and should not be touched. When the temperature falls below 104F, the mat returns to its original gray color, helping you manage heat and reduce the risk of burns. - Protects the cooktop like new: Guards against scratches and keeps your induction cooktop clean on a daily basis. - Easy to clean and dishwasher safe: The silicone mat can be hand-washed or placed in the dishwasher for convenient maintenance. - Non-slip and stable: The mat stays in place, keeping pots and pans fixed on the induction cooktop during cooking. - Food-grade silicone with fiberglass reinforcement: Made from durable, food-grade silicone with fiberglass for enhanced durability and stability.
